If you know me, you'll hear me say (a lot), "They just don't make clothes like they used to" ... because it's true. When in the vintage trade as I am, and after years of sifting through thousands and thousands (and thousands) of pieces of clothing, you can see first hand that they don't make clothes like they used to. At all.

(Okay, rarely. So rare that no one donates these items! Obviously.)

Today, the consumer buys clothes as items to be worn a couple times, used up, trashed, or whatever, and then they move on to something new. This wasn't the philosophy of the past. Clothes were made to last. You had a simple but quality wardrobe that lasted for decades, adding a piece or two here and there, taking out a piece or two here and there.

Railcar is one of the few companies (American made = major bonus) that exists to create denim that are quality, beautiful and made to last.

Selvedge is a vintage way of manufacturing denim and since I live in vintage, love vintage, and surround myself with all things vintage, these jeans were a must.

Get your vintage on!

Welcome friends. I hail from Northern California where I'm in love with vintage, fashion, writing, and the simple life. My family keep me the busiest. But by the grace of God (and buckets of coffee -- like above ↑), anything is possible. Thanks for stopping by!
